That's the previous regime's fault, not the current regime's. FFS, people need to start being able to separate the wrong-doings of the previous regime that was here and give the new regime the fair shake that they deserve. The new regime was dealt an atrocious hand being brought in mid-season of 21-22, so being able to unload salary without severely compromising the team's long-term future was going to have to wait a little bit. They couldn't buy out OEL in 2022 because he was due a signing bonus, but since he wasn't owed anymore signing bonus money after that, they could buy him out in 2023. I understand many have questioned why new management spent cap space before they could clear it, but it's important to understand HOW they spent it. They didn't commit cap space to luxury or redundant pieces, they spent it on players who actually fill obvious spots on the roster and play well-defined roles for the team. J.T. Miller's slow start to last season was an issue of lacking accountability and standard of excellence, that's a discussion point for another time however, but Rick Tocchet does seem to have a better handle on how to motivate players and make them accountable than Boudreau ever did. As for player development, there is a REASON that management beefed up the staff assigned to fostering the upbringing of up and coming talent in the organization, because it obviously wasn't good enough before, so we have to give them at least 2-3 years worth of runway before we can assess the fruits of their labor, so no more bagging on the organization's player development until then

Sujet: Lets try this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GreatWhiteNorth</b></div><div>If Murray is bought out that puts you over the cap. I’m not sure why you changed the upper cap limit here, it would stay the same and you’d be over and forced to move someone.

I’ve also said this on another post - Garland doesn’t make sense because it’s costing you Pinto. Not in terms of trade, but contract status. Pinto is likely getting more than the $2.5M you have here, and I’m not sure why Ottawa fans keep devaluing him just to try to fit him in the cap. If it was that low he’d likely be signed by now.

The best comparison for Pinto is Kasperi Kapanen’s second contact, the one he signed with Toronto off he is ELC. Very similar production and very similar players at the time. Kapanen signed for 3.93% of the cap, so if that’s the number for Pinto then he’s signing a 2 or 3 year deal at $3,281,550M which you don’t have the cap for here, so it comes back to not making the deal for Garland.</div></div>

No the best comparable is the one Maxine Comtois signed after 33pts in 55 games. 2 x 2

Hey you remember how Sens fans kept insisting that they'd get a dragon haul for Cat, and got really angry when you told them to temper expectations?

Good times.

For example from this <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/4262227">Thread</a>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>Not nearly as much as Sens fans believe.

1 year of team control, 9 mil QA, a down year depressing his value, Dubois also being on the market - sapping his market, etc

They'll get a late 1st and a B+ if they're lucky</div></div>



<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Lol what a terrible take. He submitted a list of 10 teams and assuming he gets traded to one of them , they’re gonna get a good return including roster players. They’re not taking a step back next year by acquiring a pile of magic beans</div></div>

Anyway I actually think Dorian did alright for the situation - but it's still a clear win for DET - especially with limiting the deal to 4 years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TampaBayLightning22</b></div><div>:laugh On what planet does Garland plus Woo plus a 3rd round pick get you the 7th overall pick? I wouldn't move Detroit's 8th for that let alone Ottawa's 7th overall pick.</div></div>

It would be less painful to just forfeit the pick

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hii</b></div><div>Also Ottawa declines.

Reasoning is because while Garland is pretty good Ottawa has a potentially better player in Greig that is not that far away so Ottawa doesn't need to go pay what could be a core piece of the future for a player that is not needed.

Woo is not needed cause we already have Thompson, JBD, and Guennette so he will struggle to find playing time as it is.

And the third does not make up for the lack of value in the other two pieces.</div></div>

Hard to be more "diplomatic" than that!
